TR-069
TR-069 is a technical directive that simplifies the automatic
configuration of Internet access devices like the FRITZ!Box.
TR-069 describes the remote configuration of Internet access
devices. In remote configuration the access and account data
are automatically transmitted to the FRITZ!Box by the Internet
service provider. These may include the account data for the
Internet connection, Internet telephone numbers and login
data for Internet telephony, or both.
The Internet service provider saves the data to be transmitted
on what is called an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). When
the FRITZ!Box is connected with the broadband line (for in-
stance, DSL), the data can be transferred automatically from
the ACS to the FRITZ!Box. This relieves the user of the task of
manually setting up the Internet and/or Internet telephone
numbers in the FRITZ!Box.
Encryption and ID verification ensure that the automatic con-
figuration of the FRITZ!Box can not be intercepted or per-
formed by unauthorized parties.
Automatic configuration of the FRITZ!Box is possible only if
the Internet service pInternet service providerrovider sup-
ports remote configuration with TR-069. Which data are trans-
ferred to the FRITZ!Box and how remote configuration is start-
ed depends on the provider. For some providers, for instance,
the user must enter a start code in the FRITZ!Box user inter-
face.
UMTS
short for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
UMTS is a third-generation (3G) mobile radio standard with
throughput rates of 384 Kbit/s to 7.2 Mbit/s.
The high throughput rates make it possible to support multi-
media services. With special cards or USB sticks the Internet
connection can also be provided for laptops or computers via
UMTS.
